It feels almost indulgent to listen to it. So rich with the ideology that we are so surrounded by that even people in the resistance don’t often know how to respond. Here’s the first verse and chorus…

I hear people sayin’. We Don’t need this war. I say there’s some things worth fightin’ for. What about our freedom, and this piece of ground? We didn’t get to keep ’em by backin’ down. They say we don’t realize the mess we’re gettin’ in Before you start preachin’ let me ask you this my friend.

if I were reading this for the first time I would have naturally assumed that it was written by Zulu in South Africa or Lakotah in the North American midwest. So fighting in Afghanistan is actually about fighting for Tennessee? If anyone questions us about the long-term ramifications about the proposed perpetual pre-emptive war in response to 911 we should then reply with the following?

Chorus Have you forgotten, how it felt that day? To see your homeland under fire And her people blown away Have you forgotten, when those towers fell We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell And you say we shouldn’t worry bout Bin Laden Have you forgotten?
